http://liberalsociety.com/breaking-the-senate-is-forcing-trump-to-do-something-hes-been-avoiding-for-his-entire-campaign-he-is-furious-now/The Senate Finance Committee is trying to force Donald Trump to release his tax info. And theyre doing so by pushing for The Presidential Tax Transparency Act. This will make it illegal for anyone running for president not to release their taxes once they become their partys official candidate.
Since the days of Watergate, the American people have had an expectation that nominees to be the leader of the free world not hide their finances and personal tax returns, said Senator Ron Wyden. Tax returns deliver honest answers to key questions from the American public, he added.
Do you even pay taxes? Do you give to charity? Are you abusing tax loopholes at the expense of middle class families? Are you keeping your money offshore? People have a right to know. We really hope this works out. This is so important.

The only thing they are going to do is dick around with the continuing resolution and then go home.

See real winners like me don't have time to worry about stupid little things like taxes. Because the powers that be love us billionaires, OK? I pay what all my billionaire friends pay in taxes. Which is about the same as what I donated to my foundation - zero. Did I say zero? I meant negative zero!
